Application Manual Rexroth MLC Tech-FB Electric Drives Bosch Rexroth AG 1/33 Crank Kinematics Function and Function Blocks 1 Crank Kinematics Function and Function Blocks 1.1 Introduction and Overview The function and function blocks described in this section are used to convert between linear (translatory) motion and rotary motion (crank angle) for use in a Crank Kinematic application. Crank Kinematics are often used to drive the cross seal splits in sealing machines or to drive molder and stamping tools with thermo-forming machines. The translatory slide in this Kinematic is moved by the rotation of a crank, driven by a servo motor whose axis is offset from that of the translatory slide. The Crank Kinematic shown below outputs set points and actual values (position and velocity) in translatory units while the measuring system outputs in rotary units. For this reason, the set points and actual values must be converted from translatory to rotary units and back again. Fig.1-1: Single Axis Crank Kinematics with Offset Crank Axis The following functions and function blocks are supported: Function MB_MasterToPhi Description Outputs crank angles calculated from the master axis position and the superimposed CAM. Fig.1-2: Crank Kinematics Function Function Block MB_CamTableCrank MB_CamTableCrankSuperimposed Description Calculates a transformation CAM which converts a translatory virtual master position into rotary values (crank angles). Calculates a transformation CAM and combines it with a user CAM to output a superimposed CAM profile.

2/33 Bosch Rexroth AG Electric Drives Rexroth MLC Tech-FB Application Manual Crank Kinematics Function and Function Blocks Function Block MB_PhiToXvirt MB_XvirtToXmech Description Converts crank angles (Phi) into virtual translatory position (Xvirt) for use by the PLC program. Converts virtual translatory position (Xvirt) into mechanical translatory position (Xmech). Application Case 1: Single Axis Operating Mode Application Case 2: Synchronous Operating Mode with CAM Reverse Conversion Fig.1-3: Crank Kinematics Function Blocks The following two applications are typically used: Single axis operation refers to the position or velocity controlled operation of the translatory axis. In this application, a virtual master (with translatory scaling) is moved using position or velocity function blocks. (e.g., MC_MoveAbsolute, MC_MoveRelative or MC_MoveVelocity). The virtual master signals are converted from translatory positions to crank angles, via the transformation cam. The transformation cam is calculated by the MB_CamTableCrank function block and becomes active using the MC_CamIn function block. The crank axis will then follow the virtual master (which runs in translatory units) and the transformation cam converts the translatory position into a crank angle. Refer to chapter 1.3 "MB_CamTableCrank" on page 6 for details. In this application, a translatory axis with a user CAM profile follows a master axis. The user CAM only applies to the translatory axis. For this reason, the user CAM does not affect the nonlinear behavior of the Crank Kinematic. Instead, the user CAM is combined with a transformation CAM, via the MB_CamTableSuperimposed function block, and the resulting rotary CAM is sent to the drive via the PLC program. Refer to chapter 1.4 "MB_CamTable CrankSuperimposed" on page 8 for details. In the previous application examples, translatory units are converted to rotary units (set point preparation). However, in order for the PLC to subsequently process position or velocity commands, the rotary units must be converted back to translatory units by means of the MB_PhiToXvirt function block. Refer to chapter 1.5 "MB_PhiToXvirt" on page 11 for details.

This mechanical limit is labeled as the maximum travel range. The mechanical translatory position (Xmech) corresponds to two different crank angles. Therefore, the virtual translatory position (Xvirt) is used to clearly assign a translatory position to a crank angle. The virtual translatory position moves in the positive direction, even when the mechanical position (Xmech) inverts the direction when passing the pole position. The modulo overflow of Xvirt is defined by the user via the zero point (Xnull). In addition, the modulo value of Xvirt corresponds to double the travel range of the crank kinematics. The travel range is calculated as follows: Fig.1-8: Travel Range Equation for Crank Kinematics The following figure shows Xvirt and Xmech in an example:

6/33 Bosch Rexroth AG Electric Drives Rexroth MLC Tech-FB Application Manual Crank Kinematics Function and Function Blocks Fig.1-9: Counting Direction of the Slide Position (Xvirt and Xmech) 1.3 MB_CamTableCrank Short Description The MB_CamTableCrank function block calculates a transformation cam (with 1024 data points) using the crank-specific input values. This transformation cam is used to convert translatory positions into rotary positions (crank angles) for use by a Crank Kinematics. This allows for a translatory virtual master to be coupled to a rotary crank drive. Refer to chapter 1.1 "Introduction and Overview" on page 1 for details. In single axis operation, the virtual axis is moved in translatory units while the crank drive follows the transformation cam. Travel beyond the linearized range is allowed by specifying a PoleDistance0 and a PoleDistance1 value. A compensation function (substitute polynomial of 5 th order) is applied to the position which approximates the crank drive and limits the drive dynamic while in the PoleDistance area. With the transition in and out of the linearized range position, velocity and acceleration is constant. The function block provides the calculated transformation cam via the "CamTable" VAR_IN_OUT. The PLC program must download this CamTable to the drive (e.g. using MB_WriteListeParameter) before it can be used (e.g., using MC_CamIn function block).

8/33 Bosch Rexroth AG Electric Drives Rexroth MLC Tech-FB Application Manual Crank Kinematics Function and Function Blocks Boundary Conditions Boundary Conditions Pushrod Radius + Offset The following boundary conditions must be satisfied or errors will be reported to the PLC. Reason If this boundary condition is not satisfied, the translatory slide can not drive mechanically on a constant y-coordinate (XNull Rear TP) & (XNull Rear TP + 2 x travel range) The zero point must lie within the travel range Fig.1-12: Boundary Setup The following setup must be performed in IndraWorks in order to move the translatory slide in single axis operation: Set the scaling of the virtual axis to linear with a modulo value of (2 x travel range). Set the scaling of the crank drive (real axis) to rotary with a modulo value of 360. IndraWorks must be in online mode with the drive in parameter mode in order to modify scaling factors. MB_CamTableCrank Application Example The following sequence example is performed for single axis operation: 1. The MB_CamTableCrank function block calculates the transformation cam. 2. The calculated transformation cam is written to the crank drive using the MB_WriteListParameter function block. 3. Switch on power to the crank drive using the MC_Power function block. 4. Reference the crank drive using the MC_Home function block. This step is required when no absolute measuring device is used at the crank drive motor. 5. Input the crank drive's actual position into the MB_PhiToXvirt function block. The actual crank position is converted from crank angles (degrees) to a translatory (mm) virtual value. 6. Move the virtual master to the crank drive's actual position by inputting the Xvirt output value of the MB_PhiToXvirt function block into the MC_Move Absolute function block for the virtual axis. After this sequence, the virtual master is at the crank drive actual position and the crank drive is now synchronize to the virtual master without performing any motion. 7. Switch the crank drive to cam operation mode using MC_CamIn. Set CamShaftDistance = 360, gear ratio to 1:1, select the transformation cam and select the virtual master as the master axis). The crank drive will not execute any motion in order to synchronize with the virtual master as the virtual master was moved to the crank position (step 6). The crank drive will perform a dynamic synchronized move if step 6 was not performed. 8. Now the virtual axis can be moved using the MC_MoveAbsolute and MC_MoveVelocity function blocks in single axis operation (the crank axis will now follow the master axis using the transformation cam). 1.4 MB_CamTableCrankSuperimposed Short Description The MB_CamTableCrankSuperimposed function block superimposes the given user cam (CamInput) with the transformation cam and outputs a resulting superimposed cam via the CamOutput. The transformation cam is calculated

The superimposition principle is shown in fig. 1-13 " Cam Superimposed Principle" on page 9. The user cam must contain 1024 data points and define the movement of the translatory axis in reference to the master axis (without consideration of the crank kinematics). The table's 100% value corresponds to the movement (2 travel range = modulo value of the virtual translatory axis). The calculated superimposed cam must be written to the crank drive by using the MB_WriteListParameter function block and must be activated by the PLC program using MC_CamIn function block. Notes to the User According to given end point of the user cam, the following cases are distinguished: If the end point of the user cam is close to 100%, the crank executes no directional return (crank keeps on turning in the same direction) energyoptimal procedure, because natural movement of the crank is used. If the end point of the user cam is 0%, a forward-backward movement of the translatory axis with directional return of the crank takes place (as shown in the figure below) Fig.1-13: Cam Superimposed Principle

The following setup must be performed in IndraWorks in order to move the translatory slide in synchronous operation mode with a given user cam:

Application Manual Rexroth MLC Tech-FB Electric Drives Bosch Rexroth AG 11/33 Crank Kinematics Function and Function Blocks Set the scaling of the crank drive (real axis) to rotary with a modulo value of 360. IndraWorks must be in online mode with the drive in parameter mode in order to modify scaling factors. Superimposed Cam Application Example The following example sequence is performed for a synchronous application with cam: 1. A user cam is inputted into the function block's CamInput (e.g., by reading in a drive cam, or reading from a file...). 2. The MB_CamTableCrankSuperimposed function block outputs a superimposed cam that is calculated by superimposing a user cam to a transformation cam. Refer to the graphics in fig. 1-13 " Cam Superimposed Principle" on page 9. 3. The calculated superimposed cam is written to the crank drive using the MB_WriteListParameter function block. 4. Switch on the power to the crank drive using the MC_Power function block. 5. Reference the crank drive using the MC_Home function block. This step is required when no absolute measuring device is being used. 6. The position output from the superimposed cam and that of the crank drive position can be out of phase from each other. A switch to cam operation mode (via MC_CamIn, with CamShaftDistance=360, 1:1 gear and the superimposed cam selected) can be executed via the following 2 options: Switch the crank drive to cam operation mode without a previous position calibration. The crank drive will execute a dynamic synchronization. Synchronize the crank drive to the master axis by inputting the master axis position and the superimposed cam into the MB_MasterTo Phi function block. Next, before switching to synchronous operation mode, move the crank drive to match the output position of the MB_MasterToPhi function block using the MC_MoveAbsolute function block. 1.5 MB_PhiToXvirt Short Description Interface Description The MB_PhiToXvirt function block converts crank angles (Phi) into virtual translatory positions (Xvirt).

Bosch Rexroth AG Electric Drives Rexroth MLC Tech-FB Application Manual

Application Manual Rexroth MLC Tech-FB Electric Drives Bosch Rexroth AG 15/33 CamLock Function Blocks 2 CamLock Function Blocks 2.1 Overview CamLock technology function blocks are used to enhance the "Lock On/Lock Off" functionality in Rexroth MLC controls using version 3 firmware. The MB_PrepareCams function block uses a 5th order polynomial to calculate, build and download three cam profiles to a slave axis. These cam profiles are referred to as Lock On, Lock Off and One-to-One. They allow a synchronized slave axis to disengage (Lock Off) from its master and stop at a predefined position until it is once again synchronized (Lock On) to the master. The MB_CamLock function block is used to activate the Lock On / Lock Off functionality. A UserCam profile is also supported. While a slave axis is synchronized to the master, it follows the master using the One-to-One cam. A phase offset between the master and slave position can be defined. When the Lock Off cam is enabled (via the MB_CamLock function block), the slave axis transitions off of the master position to a predefined lock off position and comes to a stop. When the Lock Off cam is disabled (Lock On), the slave axis transitions from its stopped position and re-synchronizes back to the master. Once synchronized, the slave axis switches back to the One-to- One cam and continues following the master input position. 2.2 CamLock - Application Example This functionality is generally used in packaging machines where products coming down a line are required to have a uniform gap between them before they can be wrapped. In the event that the gap is too large, the wrapping process in the machine is disengaged (Lock Off) from the master for one or more cycles until product is once again detected. This condition is called, "No Product, No Seal". Once product is detected, the wrapping process is once again synchronized to the master (Lock On) and continues to wrap products. This none-uniform gap feature makes it necessary to accelerate or decelerate the slave axis to synchronize to the master. The following figure illustrates a typical fill and seal wrapping machine: Fig.2-1: Horizontal Form, Fill and Seal Wrapper The following graph shows the run, decelerate, stop, accelerate and run process that a slave axis follows during the Lock On / Lock Off process.

16/33 Bosch Rexroth AG Electric Drives Rexroth MLC Tech-FB Application Manual CamLock Function Blocks One-to-One CAM Profile Synchronized to Master Fig.2-2: CamLock Cam Profiles The One-to-One cam profile is active and synchronized to the master input, unless the Lock On/Lock Off feature is not active. The Lock On/Lock Off feature is active while the Enable input in the MB_CamLock function block is set high. The LockOff input must be set low. Under normal operating conditions, this cam profile is active and follows the master input. Lock Off Cam Profile Fig.2-3: Run Cam Active, Normal Operation of Wrapper Application The Lock Off cam profile decelerates the slave axis to a stop over one cycle of the master. The Lock Off cam is active while both the Enable and LockOff inputs in the MB_CamLock function block are set high. After this cycle, the slave axis' velocity is stopped and does not restart until the Lock On cam profile is active.

Application Manual Rexroth MLC Tech-FB Electric Drives Bosch Rexroth AG 17/33 CamLock Function Blocks Once enabled, the Lock Off cam profile is active after the 0 crossover of the slave axis. Lock On Cam Profile Fig.2-4: Lock Off Cam Active, No Product - No Seal The Lock On cam profile is active and accelerates from a stopped position to match the velocity of the master input over one cycle of the master (360 degrees). After this cycle, the velocity of the slave axis matches that of the master. The Lock On cam is only active until the slave axis is synchronized with the master. Afterwhich the slave axis follows the One-to-One cam while in normal operation. The Lock On cam profile is active while the Enable input is set high and the LockOff input is set low in the MB_CamLock function block. Once enabled, the Lock On cam profile is active after the 0 crossover of the master axis.

18/33 Bosch Rexroth AG Electric Drives Rexroth MLC Tech-FB Application Manual CamLock Function Blocks Fig.2-5: Lock On Cam Active, Product is Present 2.3 MB_PrepareCams Short Description Interface Description The function block uses a 5th order polynomial to calculate, build and download 3 Cam profiles to parameters determined by the MC_CAM_ID inputs. The resulting motion profiles contain boundary conditions for position and velocity. Fig.2-6: MB_PrepareCams Function Block The MB_PrepareCams function block is supported by both MLC control and MLD-M drive systems. Any functionality unique to a particular system will be clearly identified. MLD-M Drive System An MLD-M drive system supports four (4) drive parameters for storing CamLock Cam profiles. The following table shows the correlation between an MC_CAM_ID integer value and the drive parameter that will be used to store the Cam profile.

Application Manual Rexroth MLC Tech-FB Electric Drives Bosch Rexroth AG 19/33 CamLock Function Blocks The axis referenced in the AXIS VAR_IN_OUT will store the Cam profiles calculated by the MB_PrepareCams function block. MC_CAM_ID Drive Parameter 1 P-0-0072 2 P-0-0092 3 P-0-0780 4 P-0-0781 Fig.2-7: Available Drive Parameters for CamLock Cam Profiles The MC_CAM_ID integer value only determines which parameter will be used to store the calculated Cam profile. The actual functionality (e.g., LockOnCam) is determined by the input in the function block. For example, in an MLD-M system, if a value of 1 is used for the LockOnCam input, then the LockOn Cam profile that is calculated by the function block is stored in drive parameter P-0-0072 of the axis referenced in the AXIS VAR_IN_OUT. For an MLC control system, a value of 1 will store the Cam profile in control parameter C-0-2001. However, in order for the MB_PrepareCams function block to execute without errors, an axis input is still required for the AXIS VAR_IN_OUT input. The calculated Cam profiles are stored in control parameters. MLC Control System An MLC control system supports a block of 98 control parameters for storing CamLock Cam profiles. Unlike drive parameters, the correlation between MC_CAM_ID value and control parameter is straight forward. Starting with control parameter C-0-2001, an MC_CAM_ID value of 1 will be stored in control parameter C-0-2001 and so on up to C-0-2098 for an MC_CAM_ID value of 98. Control parameter C-0-2099 is not available for storing Cam profiles, it is reserved for "Stopping the slave axis". This function block must run right after power up in order to calculate the three cam profiles and download them to the relevant parameters. Use the Done output to verify that the process has completed before the PLC program continues. The MB_PrepareCams function block is executed only once at the start of the PLC program and before the MB_CamLock function block.

For example, if a value of 1 is used for the LockOnCam input of the MB_Prepare Cams function block, then it also must be used for the LockOnCam input of the MB_CamLock function block. The following table lists the different cam profiles controlled by the MB_Cam Lock function block:

22/33 Bosch Rexroth AG Electric Drives Rexroth MLC Tech-FB Application Manual CamLock Function Blocks Cam Profile Enable Input LockOff Input Description Run High Low Normal operating mode using a 1:1 cam profile. Lock Off High Low to High Lock On High High to Low The slave axis switches from the Run cam to the Lock Off cam profile and comes to a stop at the position specified in the LockOff_Pos input. The slave axis accelerates from a stopped position using the Lock On cam profile, synchronizes with the master and switches to the Run cam.

The CamState output transitions from Dynamic Sync (1) to Run (2). The function block will stay in the Run state (running a 1:1 cam) until the LockOff input goes high. When the LockOff input goes high, during run mode, the function block executes a lock off cam and stops at the position specified in the LockOff_Pos input. During this transition from running to stopping, the CamState output transitions from Run (2) to Lock Off (3) to Standstill (4). The default value for LockOff_Pos is 180 degrees, which is half way from lock on to run, and from run to lock off.

24/33 Bosch Rexroth AG Electric Drives Rexroth MLC Tech-FB Application Manual CamLock Function Blocks At this point, the function block stays in the stopped state until the LockOff input goes low. This would complete the cycle. To disable the CamLock function block, it is recommended to be in CamState=4 (stopping state) and set the Enable input to low. If the Enable input is set to low, while in the Run state, the slave will desynchronize from the LockOn/LockOff Cam functionality and switch to continuous motion. LockOn/LockOff Trace Examples Fig.2-14: Channel 0 (green)= master position Channel 1 (red) = slave position Channel 2 (blue)= slave velocity Master velocity= 200 rpm LockOn Profile with a LockOff_Pos of 180 degrees The figure above shows the position and velocity profile during the LockOn profile. The LockOff_Pos position is 180 (default). This shows that for a lock off position of 180, the position and velocity profiles are smooth with no jump and no overshoot.

The LockOff_Pos position is 180 (default). This shows that for a lock off position of 180, the position and velocity profiles are smooth with no jump and no overshoot. Fig.2-16: Channel 0 (green)= master position Channel 1 (red)= slave position Channel 2 (blue)= slave velocity Master velocity= 200 rpm LockOn Profile with a LockOff_Pos of 90 degrees The figure above shows the position and velocity profile during the LockOn profile when the LockOff_pos position is 90. This shows that for a lock off position of 90, the position and velocity profiles are still ok (there is a velocity jump, but no motion reverses direction).

This shows that for a lock off position of 90, the position and velocity profiles have an overshoot. This position overshoot causes the motion to reverse direction. It is recommended to use a value of 180 for the LockOff_Pos input (this input has to match for both the MB_PrepareCams and MB_CamLock function blocks). If a different lock off position other than 180 is used, then the further away from 180, the more overshoot in position and velocity will occur.
